blood meal
Dried slaughterhouse byproduct
Blood meal is dried animal blood, typically from cattle or pigs, processed into a powder and used as a high-nitrogen fertilizer or protein supplement in animal feed.
Gardeners apply it to boost plant growth and deter pests like rabbits and deer: I added blood meal to the tomato beds this spring.
